My life seems to be going through a point right now where I'm a bit confused. I'm reaching a point where I realize I have no idea what comes next. Mind you, I've never planned further than a week ahead (in special cases) in any point in my life, so I'm probably coping better than most when they reach it. Still, it's a strange place to be. A lifetime of schooling without a day of studying, then suddenly I'm high and dry with myself to depend on and now staring the real world down. The mass of possibilities before me is daunting and unto itself almost makes me want to sit down and just ponder it. However, there's no time for that because by the time I'm content, life will have passed me by. I'm left to pick and choose, to dive into this entropic blur that is the rest of my life.

I'm surprised that what comes to mind isn't panic or excitement, just a quote from a favorite book of mine.

Alice came to the fork in the road.
"Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."
- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
